Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Onin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

Under the lower 720P preset we can see strong performance from the GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo. When we move to 1920 x 1080 and the high preset, you can see that all our cards struggle.
